Esab Coreshield 8-NI1 H5 description:
Coreshield 8-Ni1 H5 is a self-shielded flux cored wire designed to produce welds with low diffusible hydrogen and robust mechanical properties. It is welder friendly and has excellent all-position welding operability. Using DCEN polarity, it produces nice weld beads by either up-hill or down-hill welding to suit for a wider range of WPS requirements. Coreshield 8-Ni1 H5 is especially suited for making root passes or handling poor fit-up, and it features a diffusible hydrogen content lower than 5.0 ml/100g.
Coreshield 8-Ni1 H5 can be ideally used in critical steel applications, such as offshore TKY joints, pipe structures, bridges, storage tanks and other applications where cold-cracking resistance is preferred.
